[0:00] Oh, we're ready.
>> Noting quum, I'll call this meeting to
[0:05] order. I would ask everyone to please
rise if you're able and join me in the
[0:08] pledge followed by the invocation
[0:13] to the flag of the United States of
America and to the republic for which it
[0:19] stands. One nation,
indivisible, with liberty and justice
[0:24] for all.
Dear Lord, we thank you for this day and
[0:28] its manifest bounty. We praise your name
knowing that we walk in your grace. We
[0:34] acknowledge the fact that we are blessed
beyond what we'd serve. We ask that you
[0:38] grant us the courage, discernment, and
resolve so that we can faithfully
[0:42] represent those who have placed us in
these positions of trust. In your son's
[0:48] name we pray. Amen.
>> Amen.
[0:53] like to welcome everyone to our
Thursday, September the 10th, 2026
[0:58] regular meeting at 5:30.
We've had our pledge and our invocation.
[1:05] Uh do we have any uh citizens
presentations comments?
[1:10] » We have the sheets back there, ladies.
[1:15] » No one sign. Okay, very good. So, u I
won't read that since we don't have any
[1:21] presentation or any citizen
presentations or comments. We'll look at
[1:24] item four. We were going to have a
presentation by E3, but they've actually
[1:30] called and noticed us that they have a
prior commitment. So, that's fine. We
[1:34] will bring them up at the next available
meeting u soon as they notice that they
[1:40] are uh able to attend. With that, we'll
move to uh item five, 5.1, discussion
[1:47] regarding proposals and cost estimates
for sludge reduction lagoon dredging and
[1:52] capacity restoration at the city of
Wyvern wastewater treatment plant.
[1:56] That'll be P pages 5 through 12. So, uh
David and then I'm sure ultimately to
[2:02] Michael.
>> Yeah, it's going to be Michael.
[2:04] » Come on up, Michael.
>> Good evening, everybody. Um, I left a
[2:09] rather large packet in front of all of
y'all. Uh, at the very beginning, it
[2:12] starts with a service order status
report. I'm sorry I'm a little out of
[2:16] line. We're going towards the very back.
Uh, you'll start seeing a few emails
[2:21] that are coming from, uh, Dennis reading
at magnaflow.com.
[2:26] Uh, Magnaflow is one of the largest
environmental companies around here.
[2:29] That's actually who Strand had um gotten
quotes from in the years past for their
[2:33] capital improvement projects just to
give us a base rate of what they would
[2:37] be looking at. Uh
I know that we had talked about a
[2:41] competitive bid around the 5 million
range before and that was from Magnaflow
[2:45] and I had them break down exactly what
they were looking at. Um from all the
[2:50] sonar and everything else that we've uh
performed out on our lagoons, we're
[2:54] looking at about 45 46,000 cubic yards.
They had a quote. The quote that they
[2:59] had for five million was for $8,320
cubic yards. But inside of that, they
[3:05] also put that per cubic yard it would be
$300 per cubic yard. So times that by
[3:11] 46,000
that alone without mobilization fees,
[3:14] standard fees, the things that you know,
trip charges, things of that nature,
[3:18] we're looking at $14 million.
So rather big jump from what they
[3:22] thought was initially there and what
they initially quoted. I've also had
[3:26] another company come out that's right
behind that that's GFL Environmental.
[3:29] They're out of need bill. Uh Magnaflow
is dumping in Crosby, so a lot closer.
[3:35] Um and GFL has put in a bid for 11.1
million. And theirs is slightly
[3:41] different. They're not doing it by cubic
yard. Uh they're going to dry it out on
[3:45] our premises and then haul it as dry
sludge. So it would be tons instead of
[3:49] cubic yards. So that 46,000 cubic yards
comes out to about 40,000 tons. uh still
[3:55] a rather large undertaking to get it out
and truck it. They're still going to
[3:59] transport it and all of that. It's just
a difference of a little bit less uh
[4:02] liquid weight versus drier weight and
how they're doing it. Slightly different
[4:06] process, but this is something that is
pretty indicative of any traditional
[4:11] lagoon dredging company. It's they have
to come in and dredge it. That's all
[4:15] going to be the same between these two
quotes. um they're going to have to
[4:18] dewater it slightly or uh into a a dry
mass like dry trash which is what the
[4:24] GFL would be doing or and then after
that ultimately you have to truck it out
[4:29] to a disposal site somewhere. This is
what a traditional dredging would look
[4:34] like for our wastewater treatment plant.
Um I know this is unrealistic right now.
[4:39] Um, so that's why I've been kind of
looking for any kind of unconventional
[4:42] routes or anything that we may be able
to, you know, take an opportunity of.
[4:48] But my main reason for bringing this to
discussion is one, I wanted to get all
[4:52] these numbers in front of y'all and have
y'all thinking about this. And two,
[4:57] to try to determine which route we would
rather go towards as far as me doing the
[5:01] leg work and pursuing other avenues. uh
do we stay with the triedand-rue method
[5:08] at this exorbitant rate and try to
figure out a way to fund it in the next
[5:11] couple of years or do we try to do
something smaller even if we were to do
[5:16] one lagoon out of our three I mean if
we're looking at 10 to 15 million a
[5:20] third of that is still going to be
exorbitant
[5:23] uh or we start trying to find ways to
reduce that slightly to a point that we
[5:29] could manage it now the other problem we
have with this you know I look at these
[5:33] bids and I say we could build a new
brand new wastewater treatment plant for
[5:37] that price. But the problem is we still
have to get rid of this sludge. So no
[5:42] matter what, if we went down the street
and built something brand new, we're
[5:46] still responsible to dispose of this the
proper way. So that's kind of the bind
[5:50] that we're in right now. And that's why
I wanted to open the floor to this
[5:54] discussion.
>> What are your thoughts, Michael?
[6:00] » Realistically, we need to do something.
And I I don't see where
[6:07] if we were to do just one lagoon on a
traditional dredging, we would still be
[6:12] looking at well over 20,000 cubic yards
or around 20,000 tons. So even at half
[6:18] of that price, it's still almost
unreachable for anything that we
[6:21] couldn't do, say even within a 5-year
plan, unless we go out for bond, CO,
[6:26] something like that. or we try a couple
of routes of trying to slowly reduce
[6:32] this to a point where we can get back in
and manage it on a more, you know, clean
[6:36] it out a little bit better on our ends.
Uh, but the main thing is we we're at a
[6:41] point where now where we have the rainy
season coming up. We haven't really had
[6:44] any rain at the wastewater treatment
plant. So, it hasn't been pushed that
[6:48] hard. But even the little bit of rains
that we have had in June, July, they've
[6:52] pushed that plant to its limit. So, like
the permit and uh viol the permit
[6:58] violations that we had when I first took
over here, the $48,000 and change that
[7:02] was from in the middle of winter from
neglect. That isn't from having too much
[7:07] water going in than what the permit is
asking for. It's just basically saying
[7:10] that we had too many solids, too many uh
biolog too much biological oxygen
[7:16] demand. This is if we get a big rain,
it's washing out what's there. We're
[7:21] going over our permit, so we're
susceptible to violations. But when we
[7:24] go over that permit, since all that
sludge is at the bottom, it's that clear
[7:28] water on top. If we get a big rush of
water, then now we're releasing not just
[7:32] the water, the clean treated water, but
we're also getting mixed in with the the
[7:36] effluent and that sludge is getting
mixed in there, too. So now we would be
[7:40] looking at possible total suspended
solids or BOD permit violations as well.
[7:45] So that's why I kind of think we need to
I can go down any avenue I can. You
[7:49] know, I'll go down any avenue to try to
find some kind of resolution to this,
[7:54] but it's a major undertaking and
something has to we got to start working
[7:59] towards a goal.
>> It sounds like that this E3 is proposing
[8:05] one technological possibility. Mhm. I've
reached out to a few different uh
[8:10] companies with a nano gas uh national
companies to see if they can try to help
[8:15] us and give us a quote. Some more
competitive in compar in comparison. Uh
[8:20] I'm still waiting and those are kind of
far and few between. The sludge hauling
[8:24] companies alone that are actually doing
the dredging are few and far between. So
[8:28] going to this technology is a little bit
harder to source, but I'm actively
[8:31] working on sourcing.
[8:37] And how many lagoons do we have? Is it
three? Three.
[8:40] » So, and the majority of everything goes
into one and then it just makes its way
[8:44] into the second and the third. So, the
first one where everything comes into
[8:48] that one's I mean completely overloaded
and then it's kind of a trickle down
[8:51] effect. The second one nowhere near as
much as the first one. And then the
[8:54] third one we have no air raators or
anything in it. It's more of what they
[8:57] call a polishing pond. just trying to
let it settle and clean up what's
[9:01] already mostly treated and give it a
little bit of detention time before it's
[9:04] released out into the creeks and
eventually the river.
[9:08] » So throughout the three lagoons we're
looking at 46,000 you said cubic feet.
[9:12] » Yes.
>> Cubic yards
[9:15] » cubic yards yards not sorry
>> no problem.
[9:20] You know Bo had a a good point last
time. Wonder what what it would do any
[9:25] good if you get a you know an agitator
in there. stir it all up, get the
[9:28] airators back in there going
>> if it would actually drop or help at
[9:32] all.
>> The problem is whatever we do with how
[9:36] overloaded we are, it has to be very
small, very managed because anything
[9:40] that's going to be stirred up just like
a big rain that comes through, it's
[9:44] going to stir that sludge to the point
where now it's in suspension. So every
[9:47] bit of clean water that's going over the
top and the sludge that's going to the
[9:50] bottom, they're not going to separate.
So now we're going to have higher um to
[9:54] total suspended solids and BOD which is
with things that are in our permit that
[9:58] we have to sample for weekly. So
anything with this you have to go real
[10:02] small just to make sure we're not going
to bust our permit while we're actively
[10:06] trying to fix this.
>> So it could create more violations.
[10:09] » Absolutely.
>> So it looks like with Magnaflow it's
[10:12] it's a per trailer. So you could do you
could do $200,000 worth of Magnaflow for
[10:18] example and they could come in and
they'll get organic and inorganic,
[10:23] right?
>> Yes.
[10:25] » And so then if they did that, we know we
just other words instead of trying to do
[10:29] the entire leg completely full,
>> right?
[10:32] » You clean 25% of it,
>> right? And then that gets you down where
[10:37] then what Councilman Chrisman was saying
then you can get in there with the
[10:41] agitators agitated out and try to airate
the organic sludge because
[10:49] » aation isn't going to do anything to
inorganic sludge is it?
[10:52] » Right. Correct.
>> And similarly I'm not knocking E3 but
[10:56] the nanobubbles aren't going to do
anything to inorganic sludge either are
[10:59] they?
>> Correct. And even with um with Magnaflow
[11:02] or any of these companies, they're not
taking any or inorganics, the gravel,
[11:06] the sand, all of that that's getting
pushed off to the side and we would be
[11:09] left to dispose of. And since it's sand,
gravel, things like that, we can easily
[11:13] dispose of that once we let it dry. But
they're not going to put this through
[11:17] their equipment that's literally meant
to dewater all of the sludge. They're
[11:21] not going to get all those filters and
things like that full of something
[11:24] that's not going to filter out and
dewater. It would basically plug their
[11:28] filter. So either way we go, anything
that's trash in there that's not organic
[11:33] sludge, we're going to be ultimately
responsible for or we'll be calling in
[11:37] rolloffs and things of that nature to
dispose of it in traditional garbage
[11:40] means.
>> Do you have a sense of how much is?
[11:47] No, we have a we've been going through
with uh sludge depth gauges where we can
[11:53] go through and check the sludge depth.
Uh and we're not pulling up any giant
[11:57] amounts of rock, sand, anything
noticeable in any of that. It's solid
[12:01] sludge. I mean, whenever we empty out
our sludge depth gauges, we're not
[12:06] getting any kind of composite of gravel,
anything that's clogging those up. It's
[12:10] just straight mud and a little bit of
liquid on top. And then as you go into
[12:15] the second and third ponds, you get a
lot less sludge and a lot more water.
[12:19] But in that first pond, pretty much
anywhere you're going, you get very
[12:22] little water on top. And that's kind of
where we're at where those big rains, it
[12:26] just kind of skims like a rock right
across that. And what doesn't skim
[12:29] across the top, it stirs it up violently
enough that it'll start dragging it out
[12:34] slowly.
And that's the name of the game, I
[12:37] guess, if we're trying to go with say
like the nanobubbles is trying to slowly
[12:42] stir it up just enough that we can
manage and control what's coming out of
[12:46] it so that we don't bust permits or
anything like that. It would be
[12:50] something that would be going through
much more extensive sampling than what
[12:54] we're currently doing once a week.
>> Would would a partial
[12:58] dredging of the first lagoon give you
more of a safety comfort level than to
[13:04] start with aation.
>> Absolutely.
[13:07] » Okay.
>> Absolutely.
[13:10] » And then the only other
thought or worry that we have is because
[13:15] these ponds are in series, so everything
goes from one to the second to the third
[13:20] is as we clean up the first pond, is it
going to get all the way through the
[13:24] second and through the third and out, or
is it just going to build up into number
[13:28] two or build up into number three before
it actually leaves the plant into the
[13:32] creeks?
>> Certainly. Whatever we do, it certainly
[13:36] makes sense to start with pond one.
>> Absolutely. Absolutely.
[13:39] » And this incremental process sounds at
least
[13:43] » a starting point.
>> Absolutely.
[13:45] » So that we can begin to manage this.
>> And in these they have it broken down
[13:50] from Magnaflow as well as GFL. Like I
said, slightly different uh units of
[13:55] measurement, but on for Magnaflow,
they're basically showing $300 per yard
[14:02] per yard for per cubic yard, I'm sorry.
And then um the GFL, since they're
[14:08] drying it out to more like dry cow patty
type consistency, they're doing it by
[14:13] actual dry weight. So, but for theirs,
it's 284
[14:18] uh per ton. essentially $284 per ton of
dry weight or $300 per cubic yard from
[14:26] Magnaflow. So either way they're
slightly comparable. The only difference
[14:30] is with Magnaflow being using cubic
yards is we're paying for a lot more
[14:36] water weight, you know, versus where
they're drying it out to dry cow patty.
[14:40] It's we're not hauling water and paying
this expense for it as much. Typical
[14:45] sludge is anywhere, even when it's dried
out, 14 to 18% solid. Everything else is
[14:51] water. So, no matter what we do, we're
hauling a lot of water.
[14:57] » Less would be better.
>> Absolutely. Absolutely.
[15:00] » Okay.
>> Any other questions for me about this?
[15:06] » Anybody?
[15:10] » Thank y'all.
>> Thank you, Michael.
[15:15] Move to item six, introduction of new
employees. I don't see any names. We
[15:19] have anyone, David?
>> Not yet. We're working on one. Very
[15:23] close. So, okay. By next meeting, we
should have one.
[15:26] » That's good. All right. Item seven, city
manager and staff reports. David.
[15:31] » Uh,
mayor, council, if I can uh look at page
[15:36] 13 in the council packet. That'll be my
report.
[15:45] I guess uh I'll just hit a couple of
highlights. Uh Wana celebrated 25 years
[15:50] with the city this month. Um you might
have seen her on the front page of the
[15:55] Wymer Mercury with the mayor. So she was
very proud of that.
[15:59] » She should be very good employee.
[16:04] » We've added another aiator to uh pond
number one. So we've got all that
[16:09] working. Two on pond two, three on pond
one. That's helping a little bit improve
[16:14] things, keep it stable.
>> Um,
[16:19] the vault for the backflow device at the
golf course has been completed. Now,
[16:23] Michael, when are we scheduled to put
that in?
[16:25] » Um, we're waiting on the golf course.
The golf course is working with Western
[16:29] Heritage. They should believe I believe
it's either this Monday and Tuesday
[16:32] coming or the following Monday.
>> A week or two that should be in place.
[16:35] Okay, good.
Um, and again, I'll skip down. I'll let
[16:40] you look at the others if you have any
questions. Um, another piece of good
[16:44] news is Maria has decided to stay with
the city. So, she'll be staying with us.
[16:48] So, thank you very much, Maria.
>> And then we will uh hire that the new
[16:54] employee I've been talking about earlier
uh is a court clerk and we're in the
[16:57] process of hiring her.
>> Very good.
[17:01] » Okay. Any questions on that report?
[17:06] » We'll move to Clay
Mayor Council. investment starting 14.
[17:21] Moving over to the different funds
break down here
[17:35] cash
[17:48] as far as the credit card statements for
the
[17:51] very
[18:00] small amounts.
[18:08] Vehicle repairs veryatches
[18:17] on those
[18:26] Clay, what do we do with the CD that
renewed
[18:31] » prosperity
[18:34] just renewed it There he is.
[19:24] Everybody good?
>> Okay, we'll move to uh chief.
[19:31] Thank you, mayor, council. Um report for
the month of um August. We had 181 calls
[19:40] for service. Uh reports generated out of
28. We had seven arrests out of that as
[19:46] well. 142 traffic contacts, um 89
written warnings, 53 citations.
[19:53] Um other than that, I don't have a lot
to report on other than the fact that we
[19:56] have National Night Out coming up
Tuesday, October the 6th between 4:30
[20:00] and 8:30 in front of the Wymer Library
on Jackson Street between Mechanic and
[20:05] Center. So, we're looking forward to
that. We'll have hamburgers and snow
[20:09] cones and different things like that.
So, we'd like to invite the public out
[20:11] for that as well. um be a fun night I
believe. And one other thing to mention
[20:16] is uh tomorrow is the 25th anniversary
of 911. I think that's a that's a big
[20:20] thing to think about and um we all know
exactly what we were probably doing the
[20:24] day that that happened. So our hearts
and prayers are still with all those
[20:27] families that still are looking to
identify their family members. I was up
[20:30] in New York City a couple years ago.
There's a room there that still has um
[20:35] the remains of people that still have
not been identified, believe it or not.
[20:39] And they work on it daily. So, if you
ever get a chance to go to New York City
[20:42] to experience the museum and the
memorial, it's very well worth it. So,
[20:47] anyway, just just want to throw that out
there. Any other questions for me,
[20:53] » right? Thank you'all.
[20:57] » Michael
[21:01] again. All right. So, uh we've been
rather busy this month. As you know,
[21:05] with the drought comes water leaks and
sewer leaks. So, we've had quite a few
[21:09] popping up on us. Uh, but most have been
pretty much managed. Uh, we've also been
[21:13] working with St. Michael School. We've
had a few leaks around their area,
[21:16] leaking fire hydrants from the flow
testing, things like that. We've got
[21:20] most of those knocked out now. Um, I
want to thank uh Colorado County
[21:24] Precinct 2. They came out and helped us
with their articulating cutter mow at
[21:28] the wastewater treatment plants on the
banks and things like that, areas that
[21:32] are harder to get with a regular mower.
U, did a fabulous job out there. And
[21:37] then our we had a small leak off of this
12-in line off of uh East Market and
[21:41] Southeast Street. Got our isolation
valve in. So, we were waiting on one
[21:45] last part we just got in to actually
attack the leak itself. But now,
[21:49] whenever we do that, it may take us two
or three days to do that leak as big as
[21:53] it is. But, it's only going to affect
two unoccupied rental houses. So, nobody
[21:57] will lose water throughout any of it now
that we have this isolation valve in.
[22:01] Um, as we mentioned, the golf course is
ready to install their backflow. We've
[22:06] taken care of everything on our end and
the their side of it was to hire the
[22:10] plumber and set it up and have it
installed. So, we've provided all the
[22:14] parts, the hardware, the everything else
for it. Um, also, we're still waiting uh
[22:20] working with Han equipment right now to
get a booster pump at plant one
[22:26] repaired. Well, really a booster pump at
both plants that boosts and pushes our
[22:29] water up to the water towers. Uh we had
the one go down shortly after we had uh
[22:35] awarded a contract for our ground
storage tank resealing and paint job and
[22:40] it's taken down the plant that would be
the only one running whenever that uh
[22:44] painting is going on. So we're waiting
to get the pump in to make sure that we
[22:48] don't have any kind of emergency
situation once that other treatment
[22:52] plant goes down for a week or two for
that paint job. uh anticipate sometime
[22:56] in early to mid October. As soon as we
get that pump in and verified, we'll
[23:00] have that paint job going. Um also,
we've gotten the ADA mulch in that we
[23:07] were uh using for the playgrounds and
the playgrounds at Chaverfield and Hill
[23:11] Park all have fresh new ADA compliant
mulch. And speaking of uh the parks at
[23:17] Hill Park, we've been out there, our
linemen have been out there for the
[23:20] better part of the month working on
changing out all the lights for the
[23:24] baseball fields. Uh not only changing
the lights, but getting the poles down
[23:28] and putting brand new steel poles in and
running all the conduit and things like
[23:31] that. So, it's been a pretty large
undertaking for them and it's been
[23:34] mostly two to three guys at a time that
have been doing it. So, they've been
[23:38] doing a fabulous job out there. And on
top of that, um, on the electric side,
[23:43] we had a company come through that did
some thermal imaging of all of our, uh,
[23:48] basically everything electric, not just
the power line poles, but they came
[23:52] through the water plants, the wastewater
plants, anything that's electrical. And
[23:55] they used a flare camera for thermal
imaging to find hot spots, anywhere that
[24:01] has a little arc or undersized cable,
anything like that that might cause a
[24:06] potential fire hazard. uh they came
through and I think all in all from
[24:10] major to minor they found 38 things.
Four were like act now and we had those
[24:16] resolved in 24 hours a day or two and
then we have a few minor little t little
[24:21] small things that we could work on but
they were in no way shape or form
[24:25] hazardous or anything like that. Upsize
a wire maybe there's a problem here
[24:29] things of that nature. Michael. Uh, and
because of them coming out and doing
[24:34] that infrared, it led us to find that
that pump was Yes. going back
[24:38] overheating. So, was a bearing, we
didn't notice the sound,
[24:41] » but that's what would have caused major
problems if they hadn't come in and did
[24:44] that imaging.
>> Absolutely. Thank you, David.
[24:47] » Any other questions for me right now?
>> Thank you.
[24:50] » All right. Okay, I'll see you all
shortly.
[25:02] » Thank you, David. Mayor, city council,
city of Wymer.
[25:06] Uh, for the library visits, we had 496
for August, which is lower than usual
[25:13] for August. Usually it's because of
school starting back up and we start
[25:16] getting less and less kids until later
on they start finding out they need to
[25:20] get books too from our libraries and
besides just the school. Uh we kind of
[25:25] help them out with the AR points and all
that. Uh for the checkouts for Libby for
[25:31] audio books, we only had about 15 for
the audiobooks in August and then for
[25:36] ebooks we had about 40 uh checked out on
that. So pretty low this time.
[25:42] Hopefully, we'll get back into it.
Definitely during the holidays and when
[25:44] it starts getting colder, people will be
looking up books online more. All right,
[25:48] for our on page 30, we have our
circulation activity and see how it's

[29:54] » Thank you guys.
>> Jim
[30:05] Good evening. Uh code
not a not a super busy month. Uh few
[30:13] abandoned vehicles, various property
issues that I've been working on uh with
[30:19] the code and law enforcement. Uh we
started uh the process with the speed
[30:23] limit signs. Uh we're going to kind of
do it in two phases. Uh, we got to work
[30:28] on locates to put the posts up. So,
we're going to start in the south side
[30:33] of town, south of basically the railroad
tracks south. Uh, we're going to start
[30:39] there, get the speed limit signs going.
Uh, they're ordered in here and posts
[30:45] and everything is ready to go. So, uh,
animal control.
[30:50] » Yep.
>> It was pretty busy this month. Uh, a lot
[30:54] of animal calls. I was able to adopt out
three different dogs with the help of
[30:58] Columbus Rescue. I was able to get that
done.
[31:04] That's about it. Continuing on my law
enforcement duties as well. So, any
[31:09] questions?
>> Thank you, J.
[31:15] » And Maria,
>> yes, but we're still staying busy with
[31:19] court. Uveraging 13,000 a month staying
there. We'll have a new employee that
[31:25] will take over and so she should start
September 28th. So
[31:31] » that should be helpful for all
concerned.
[31:35] » Okay,
>> mayor council. That's it for my reports.
[31:39] » Very good. Thank you. Move on to item
eight, consent agenda. All consent items
[31:43] are considered routine and will be acted
on by one single vote. Any council
[31:47] member may request that an item be
removed from the consent agenda for
[31:51] individual consideration. 8.1 approval
of the record city council minutes of
[31:56] August 13, 2026. 8.2 approval of the
special city council meeting minutes of
[32:01] September 1, 2026.

[32:19] a.m. for the uh Wymer Area Chamber of
Commerce Rock the Block event, including
[32:26] the use of city barricades andor traffic
control devices as available. payment
[32:32] » uh on that particular item 8.3 uh pages
35 to 38
[32:41] probably page 38 would be the best one
to look at. That's the area it's going
[32:44] to be uh blocked off for uh rock to
block
[32:52] shouldn't impact anything. It should be
pretty good. It's a really good area.
[32:56] It's well lit. We got the lights across
the streets and everything right in
[33:00] front of the library there. So,
>> they've been so successful.
[33:02] » Yeah. Very nice. Very good.
[33:08] » You got council note is an action item.
>> Go ahead.
[33:15] » Oh, on 33 32.1
you looked on it. Uh, city council or
[33:20] the city attorney Bo Dawson and that
part of it where it says the city staff
[33:25] present. I don't think he was here on
August 13th.
[33:31] » Yeah, just to let you know that. And
then
[33:35] um
[33:40] on page 34,
you have the number six. Will we
[33:45] adjourn?
It says um June 30th instead of
[33:50] September 1st on that special meeting.
>> Okay.
[33:54] Those are the only two things that I I
mean other than little.
[34:03] » Thank you, Christina.
[34:12] » Council pleasure. We'll take a motion.
>> I'll make the motion that we appro uh
[34:17] approve the consent agenda with the
corrections that Christina noted.
[34:22] » Motion Roberts.
>> Second. Second Barren. Any further
[34:26] discussion?
All those in favor?
[34:31] » Any opposed?
>> Motion passes. We'll move to new
[34:36] business 9.1.
discussion, consideration, and possible
[34:39] action to award and execute construction
contract in the amount of $172,69
[34:46] per the engineers recommendation to the
low bidder McDonald Municipal and
[34:50] Industrial for the city's TDEM HMGP
grant contract number 4586-15
[34:58] for the city's emergency generator at
water plant number one. David and
[35:03] Michael.
>> Um, mayor, council, the items will be on
[35:08] pages 39 to 41. And we have Bradley Lure
from Befco here and he will be glad to
[35:17] elaborate maybe a little bit. Good
evening everybody, mayor and council.
[35:21] Hope you all have been doing doing well.
Uh, the two pages that Mr. Mason had
[35:27] alluded to should include a bid award
recommendation letter signed by Chad and
[35:33] then also followed by a bid what we call
a bid tabulation that shows the four
[35:38] different biders that provided the bids
for the three various bid items. Um as
[35:45] you can see there we received pricing
from four different biders.
[35:50] Um, I have worked personally with uh
McDonald and JNK Ready Power and Texas
[35:57] Municipal or new to to just me
personally. Chad may have worked for
[36:01] them in the past. Uh, but as you can
see, we ranged in price from 173069
[36:06] for McDonald up to 294,346
uh with JNK. This is for a new 350
[36:17] kilowatt diesel power generator at water
plant one which is maybe referred to as
[36:21] Jackson Street Water Plant next to the
city warehouse
[36:24] um based upon past successful work with
McDonald. pricing at 173069
[36:32] and within the the budget um in the
application it's SPFO's recommendation
[36:38] to um for the council to award to enter
into a cont construction contract with
[36:44] McDonald Municipal Indust Industrial for
173 069
[36:54] » council this is an action item
[36:59] There any other questions?
>> Any questions?
[37:12] » I guess because this is like a saying a
new one. So, we have one existing and
[37:16] it's not working. So, we just got to
replace it. Is that
[37:19] » I'm I'm not sure about the not working
part. Chad was kind of overseeing this
[37:23] project and he's on vacation. So I'm
kind of filling in today.
[37:26] » Okay.
>> Uh David or Michael maybe I'll answer
[37:29] that.
>> Operational. It's quite a bit older. I
[37:31] mean it's I think 20 years plus. Um then
this would be newer upsized as well. And
[37:38] this is part of Tedum which is Texas
Department of Emergency Management. So
[37:41] this is a grant to help boost our water
supply make sure that we factory water
[37:45] even in the matter of power outage or
something.
[37:48] » Correct. Thank you.
>> Okay.
[37:59] I'll make a motion to award and execute
a construction contract in the amount of
[38:05] $173,69
[38:09] per the engineers recommendation to the
low bidder McDonald municipal and
[38:15] industrial for the city's TDM
HMGP contract grant contract number
[38:22] 4586-05
[38:26] for the city's emergency generator at
water plant number one.
[38:32] » Motion Roberts.
>> Second.
[38:36] » Second, Christian. Any further
discussion?
[38:39] All those in favor?
>> Any opposed?
[38:44] Motion passes. We'll move to 9.2.
>> Thank you, council.
[38:46] » Thank you.
>> Thank you, Brett. Discussion,
[38:49] consideration, and possible action
regarding proposals for the replacement
[38:53] and installation of existing lift
station pump and approval of recommended
[38:57] proposal in the amount of $18,458
and authorizing the city manager to
[39:03] execute the necessary documents. David
and Michael. Michael.
[39:07] » All right. So, this is uh going to be
going on our cabinet lift station, which
[39:10] is actually one of our highest use lift
stations. Uh on average day, those pumps
[39:14] are running between 8 and 12 hours a
day, split between two. So, uh, four to
[39:19] six at least on average. We had a, uh,
issue where recently I had somebody out
[39:24] looking at the hotel lift station and
then we went by this one after doing
[39:27] rounds and something had tripped inside
of the cabinet. Thankfully, this was
[39:32] right after we completed our rounds.
But, it was already smoking after about
[39:36] 40 minutes of something overloaded it
and it just kept uh, firing. So, with
[39:41] this being our most used lift station
and not having some kind of SCADA, auto
[39:45] dialer, some kind of alert system other
than audio visual and hoping the
[39:50] neighbors call us in time. Uh, this is
going to be to replace this with a brand
[39:54] new uh, flight in propeller pump, but
they're also going to put trip overloads
[39:59] onto this so it can never just sit there
and run non-stop. It has something to
[40:03] physically stop it. And it this didn't
completely burn up that pump. It's still
[40:07] operating just fine, the one that's
there, but the one that's there isn't a
[40:10] grinder or anything like that. So, we're
constantly having to pull it because one
[40:13] is able to shred up small debris and
then the other one can't at all. So,
[40:18] that one's ragging up. So, my my thought
and what I'd like to do with this, we
[40:22] have no backup pumps whatsoever. I'd
like to pull the one non- grinder pump
[40:26] out of the cab lift station, install
this overload with this new pump, and
[40:30] then we have something on backup that if
anything were to go out, we can drop
[40:33] into any one of our lift stations at any
given time. uh had a few different
[40:37] quotes. Uh but these are I specifically
went after uh flight pumps. Flight pumps
[40:43] are the Cadillacs. Uh you put them in
the ground, you don't have to worry
[40:46] about them. Again, hydroatics and all
the other ones, they have more
[40:49] temperamental issues, but Flight is the
only one with the end propeller that uh
[40:53] guarantees that they will not clog up or
rag up within 12 months. They have
[40:57] actual guarantees on their product. I've
used them before in quite a few places
[41:01] and whenever I've used them, I didn't
have to do lift station rounds near as
[41:05] regular as something that we do here
because I can depend on them to work.
[41:09] So, I would like to I recommend that we
go ahead with this uh flight pump from
[41:14] Honda equipment. Any questions
>> and the pump that's being pulled would
[41:18] become a backup pump.
>> Absolutely. And that would be able to
[41:21] fit basically every lift station except
for like the hotel where it's only
[41:24] feeding the hotel and Turbo Joe's the
very small ones. But for the most part,
[41:28] all of our other lift stations, we could
drop it in at any given time.
[41:35] » Council, this is an action item for your
pleasure.
[41:46] » I move to approve the recommended
proposal for the replacement and the
[41:51] installation of the existing lift
station pump in the amount not to exceed
[41:55] $18,458
and authorize the city mayor to execute
[41:59] the necessary documents.
>> Motion Barons.
[42:04] » Second.
>> Second Roberts. Any further discussion?
[42:09] All those in favor?
>> Any opposed?
[42:13] Motion passes. Move to 9.3.
discussion, consideration, and possible
[42:18] action to approve the purchase of a lane
chart HH4 rotary brush cutter from King
[42:24] Ranch A and turf of Katy, Texas in the
amount, and that's going to be an
[42:28] amended amount of $11,940.
Is that right, David?
[42:33] » Correct.
>> Uh, and authorize the city manager to
[42:37] execute all necessary documents. And
David can explain what that's about.
[42:41] » Yeah. Michael, you want to explain that
we're actually going to go to a
[42:45] different vendor?
>> Absolutely. Yes, we're actually uh going
[42:47] to move from King Ranch and go to Clybar
out of Lraange to try to keep it local.
[42:52] Uh all of the companies that I reached
out to since this is a third party uh
[42:57] manufactured item, they're just
resalers, everybody is quoting the exact
[43:01] same MSRP at $9,999
or $9,990. I apologize. Uh so the only
[43:07] difference is either freight cost or the
actual conversion kick for the uh
[43:12] constant flow of the hydraulic system.
And that's varying between the bids by
[43:17] just a few hundred dollars. But that's
really the only difference in the bids
[43:21] is the price for the actual conversion
to the constant flow.
[43:24] » And the conversion kit is needed.
>> Yes, absolutely.
[43:31] Uh this is also the type of implement
that uh the Colorado County Precinct 2
[43:35] used to help us out with the banks at
the lagoon, but also where we've created
[43:40] our new alleyway easements and things
like that where people aren't parking in
[43:43] the alleys, people aren't maintaining
them near as much. This cuts time
[43:47] exponentially. We could put a shredder
on the back and have this implement on
[43:50] the front and be clearing up fence lines
and everything while we're shredding at
[43:53] the same time all with one tractor.
>> Very good.
[43:58] Council,
this is an action item. Again, per your
[44:02] pleasure,
>> I move to approve the purchase of a Lane
[44:05] Shark HH4 rotary brush cutter from Clber
Tractor and Equipment in Lraange, Texas
[44:11] in the amount of $11,940
as recommended by city staff and
[44:16] authorized city manager to execute all
necessary documents.
[44:19] » Motion Christian.
>> Second.
[44:22] » Second, Roberts. Any further discussion?
All those in favor?
[44:28] » I.
>> Any opposed?
[44:31] Motion passes. Move on to 9.4.
Discussion, consideration, and possible
[44:36] action to approve resolution number
2026-0910-02

city of Wyvern. establishing fees and
[44:45] charges for various city services,
permits, license, applications,
[44:49] inspections, and municipal services,
providing for an effective date, and
[44:53] authorizing the city manager to
implement the adopted fee schedule.
[44:57] David,
>> mayor, council, if I can uh bring your
[45:01] attention to pages 71 through 72,
and we'll come back here again in a
[45:08] minute. But um so right now our fees are
built into the ordinances. And so to
[45:14] change a fee, you have to change the
ordinance. And so other cities what they
[45:19] have is a master fee schedule at the end
of the ordinances. And we we'll have
[45:24] that. And if we change a fee, we can
just update the master fee schedule.
[45:35] Decision action item 10. council per
your pleasure.
[45:50] » What's the effective date?
>> Yes.
[45:53] » Immediately, David.
>> Yeah, we can do it immediately.
[45:56] » Yeah.
[46:01] I move to approve the resolution
adopting the master fee schedule for the
[46:06] city of Wymer as presented with an
effective date of 91026
[46:12] and authorize the city manager to
implement and adopt the fee schedule.

And um also updating the uh fees for the

>> Yes. New builds. Yes. Uhuh.
[48:13] Are we matching somebody like
>> We are. I didn't bring it, but yeah,
[48:17] we're we're we're about in the middle
with these fees.
[48:20] » Okay.
>> I know Clayton was mentioning some a lot
[48:22] higher fees, but we're we're kind of
comparable with the cities around us.
[48:26] » Okay.
We we were considerably lower and the
[48:31] cost of everything, our supplies, our uh
labor, our equipment, and we just need
[48:37] to say at least at least recoup what
we're putting into it.
[48:42] » So, basically, we're just making these
changes right here in the yellow, too,
[48:45] as far as like the warding of it goes.
>> Yes.
[48:48] » Correct.
>> Yes, that'll be that's
[48:58] Once again, council, this is an action
